Ditch “C” Box Culvert System & Turkey Creek Drainage Study at IAH Airport
Binkley & Barfield, Inc. (BBI) completed preliminary engineering reports (PER) and the final design for improvements at Bush Intercontinental Airport for the Houston Airport System as a sub-consultant to the prime contractor.
The preliminary reports discussed the Ditch “C” box culvert system replacement and associated tributary storm sewers. The services provided by the BBI team for the Ditch “C” Box Culvert System included:
-
storm water detention analysis
-
drainage analysis
-
recommendations for drainage improvements in the storm sewer design
-
Rerouted service roads
-
BBI also prepared plans and specifications for the project.
The PER provided the design analysis and recommendations for a new roadway realignment and also provided for miscellaneous roadway demolition. The reports focused on improvements needed to accommodate the north extension and widening of Runway 15R-33L as well as the construction of new taxiways in the vicinity of the upper reach of Ditch “C”.
Utility conflicts were identified and public utility adjustments were designed for the West Runway Area.
The project scope included 4,000 linear feet of 18-inch to 60-inch diameter storm sewer, 1900 linear feet of 10-foot x 6-foot double box culvert, 2,500 linear feet of service road, and 3,500 linear feet of 10-inch and 12-inch diameter water line relocation for the West Runway Area of Bush Intercontinental Airport for the Houston Airport System.
The BBI Team coordinated its work with the City of Houston Department of Public Works and Engineering, Department of Aviation, and all other consulting engineers, surveyors, and private utility companies.
